It is possible to define an android application without defining a single XML file. There's a reason Android provides XML based definition for layout definition. The alternative is VERY tedious and bloats the code. Which is what this seems to be going towards.
This has the added disadvantage of not making it clear in one place what the structure of things is. You have to hold it in your head or on paper what the defined structure is.
- MrBra 9y agoFlipping your comment upside down: then we just need a layout design tool on top of Ferro and we'll get a Ruby equivalent to VS or Android Studio for the web.
- L0stLink 9y agoDo you remember swing and awt on Java? because that is what you are moving towards. This will not simplify web development, it will just produce code that is not maintainable for a project with any significant level of complexity.
